The results also show that, in some cases, IMPACT as a whole can be up to ten times faster than Compaq Gloria-L, a fact that the results-combining technique hides. A similar thing happens with SPEC.
I wish people on the newsgroups would take the time to study the details in this way as one can learn alot about the hardware one is interested in and improve one's statistical skills at the same time. Ok, I'll step off my soap box now... :)
